    Brazilian Grand Prix debrief: 'More red flags than my ex'
    Nov 4 2024
    Betty and Christian go through the big talking points from a chaotic Brazilian Grand Prix. From wild track conditions to a disqualification and Max's "best race yet" (and Lance Stroll's formation lap antics) it all made for a pretty memorable race, which looks to put the drivers' title battle to bed. But with three races to go, where could the constructors title end up and how much of a boost has that double podium given Alpine as we head towards to season finale?
